Resources to help Administrators and Supervisors:
Our resources and services will increase your retention of young educators. Expert advice from an experienced mentor can give young teachers the confidence and personal attention they need from someone in their field who understands the challenges. Marching Arts Education and LCL Mentors are here to help, with valuable content on ALL aspects of music education.
LCL Mentors is generously providing free mentoring sessions to music education students who are about to become band directors. However some scholarships may also be available for young teachers already in the field. If you are unable to provide mentoring sessions from LCL Mentors through your school system, you may be able to help certain educators in this way. NOMINATE NOW
Perfect, easy Professional Development for directors and their staff, trusted content in one location! Many directors are using school funds for these valuable resources. We give directors ACCESS to the top Marching Arts Professionals, allowing them to interact and ask questions during live webinars! Plus over 1000 podcasts at the Marching Roundtable, hundreds of hours of webinar conversations and interviews, and great coursework. Contact Tim Hinton for more information on getting access for ALL the teachers under your supervision.
